Picture activity schedules consist of a sequence of images representing the order of tasks for a person to complete. Although, picture activity schedules have traditionally been presented in a book format, recently picture activity schedules have been evaluated on technological devices such as an iPod™ touch. The present study compared the efficiency of picture activity schedule acquisition on book- and tablet-based modalities. In addition, participant preference for each modality was assessed. Three boys aged below 5 years with a diagnosis of autism participated. Participants were taught to follow the schedules using both modalities. Following mastery of each modality of picture activity schedule, a concurrent-chains preference assessment was conducted to evaluate participant preference for each modality. Differences in acquisition rates across the two modalities were marginal. Preference for book- or tablet-based schedules was idiosyncratic across participants.
图片活动日程表由一系列代表个人要完成任务顺序的图像组成。虽然传统上图片活动日程表是以书本形式呈现的，但最近也在诸如iPod™ touch等技术设备上对图片活动日程表进行了评估。本研究比较了基于书本和基于平板电脑两种形式获取图片活动日程表的效率。此外，还评估了参与者对每种形式的偏好。三名年龄在5岁以下、被诊断为自闭症的男孩参与了研究。参与者学习使用两种形式来遵循日程表。在掌握了图片活动日程表的每种形式后，进行了并发链偏好评估，以评估参与者对每种形式的偏好。两种形式的获取率差异很小。参与者对基于书本或平板电脑的日程表的偏好因人而异。
